The Sin of Pride
Upon a throne of gilded lies, Pride sits, with fire in its eyes. A whispered voice, a velvet snare, It lifts you high, then leaves you bare. A mirror polished, sharp and clear, Reflects the face we long to cheer. But deeper still, behind the glass, A shadow stirs where truths won’t pass. It builds a tower to the sky, Where humble hearts dare...

The venom they spew, why, it’s unladylike Overheard was this gentleman: “Girl, take a hike!” We don’t want you around, Say the...
